I like your chronology. I also liked your mind re-booting post. Only two posts I’ve read so far, so I basically think you’re great!

I am glad I found your blog (somehow stumbled upon it after googling “lifestyle design”), and I wish you all the best in finding that right niche.

And did you really talk to Tim??? Was he cool or a diva? How did you prepare for that discussion? Just by reading the book? Are you a natural or did you have to buck up first? (Sorry for the string of ???s I’m a huge Tim groupie).

No apology needed. Apture reminded me of those text link ads which I find very annoying. Sorry for the rant.

Upgrade – did you upgrade WordPress to 2.8.4? For the security issues? I see/hear/read a lot about that on the ‘net. I’m concerned about my theme and plugins working if I upgrade.

Keep up the good work of living a life of your choice. There are things available to you that you can not even see yet. Enjoy the process.

@Joe
Could you elaborate on putting our obstacles in our own way? My hope is to eliminate them for the most part, or put only the ones of my choosing in front of me.

Apture is a plugin for allowing you to quickly pull information WITHOUT having a pop-up. The tough thing is, my plugin is broke at the moment because of some recent upgrades…I’m hard at work to fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience

What the hell is that Apture crap all about? You offer an interesting link. Click on it and… a frickin pop-up?! Geez.

Ironically from a life style design site. Oh well.

I will definitely be following your blog as all the books you mention have been exactly the ones on my read list the last few months and is the reason why I quite my job 2 months ago and am now living in Bangkok.

Look forward to following your journey. The best of luck my friend.

This is all awesome stuff. I can really connect with this post because a lot of the same stuff would be on my list of things I’ve done so far. Good luck the rest of the way man looking forward to hearing more!

@davidt
no worries, you’re young still and an incredible writer.

@dave
oh you will, this project is on a nonstop path until dreamlines are lived. shoot. that might be a while.

@john
thanks for the take aways, it’s weird to work so hard, to free yourself, but that’s starting to make sense. the hard work isn’t exactly what attracted me, but it’s invaluable.

@JD and sean
i’d love to see your lists…what information/tools are you using to produce? what fuel are you using to inspire entrepreneur opportunities? how are you having fun? sean, awesome mountain climb! sometimes i focus so much on the “efficient and effective” results, but it might be valuable to hear what FUN people are having because of this lifestyle even while they’re in the trenches to financial and time freedom.

@cody
let’s do it man! not sure if my fumblings in re-designing life and laying groundwork for freedom will make for good video, but who knows?

“Fell back into trying to multitask, got distracted, confused by all this content, wasn’t moving toward freedom. Stuck. I needed to re-train in efficiency and stop thinking so much. Simplify, re-sort, look at goals, plan steps toward them again”

I’m going through a similar situation now. It’s easy with so many resources and strategies in the field of lifestyle design to get ahead of oneself. I like how you included this in your list of accomplishments, because it highlights how important it is to stick to the basics.

Keep up the good work!

Great progress list, it’s interesting to follow!
Good luck with thelifedesignproject.com, I hope it grows into an amazing blog.

You’re definitely working hard and over time it should really pay off!

Looking forward to great posts!

Cheers
Diggy!

I think there are three great lessons here.
1. Success takes work and you are certainly paying your dues.
2. Ideas are worthless unless acted upon. It is great to see you putting the 4HWW ideas into practice.
3. Amazing things can be accomplished with consistent effort. Looking forward at all the work ahead of you can be overwhelming, but we can be surprised at how much we accomplished looking back.

Great progress!

Faith is intertwined in all these goings and comings. I think this post exemplifies a lot of actions on this quest to testing a purposeful lifestyle. Although there are plenty of actions to increase my faith, faith in itself I don’t see as an action. I’m not saying it doesn’t fit in though. I have certainly been stretched in re-evaluating how things work, looking for ways to be efficient and effective, and so on and so forth with personal productivity and an entrepreneurs eye. My faith comes along with me in developing. It influences what actions I take to cut out time, or how I approach people. Although this project doesn’t really detail personal faith, it’s a great point to bring up as mine certainly has been effected by the freed time, newly developed relationships and general life questioning. It’s been an opportunity for growth. Thanks for asking!

Continued luck to you in your quest to get some more income streams going! I think we’ve all got slightly different ideas on how to do it, but if we keep each other in the loop, hopefully we’ll all come out on top, and much faster than if we were going it along.
